Butter Cows.

The following records of butter COWS
published in the Country Gentleman by
Smith, Powell & Lamb. will doubtless
astonish some of our farmers whose brag
cow makes or pounds OF butter a
week at the best season of the year, and
who are we'll satisfied with the average
of their herds which make 5 pounds a
week.
GAS the records now stand, from the
published statements, we find as follows:
IN. Princess 4th (Holstein- Fresian)
2s months Is days old, p lbs. 10a or.
in 7 days, unsalted butter.
IN. Princess 4th (IIolstein. Friesian).
2Smonths 5 days old, 80 lbs OF. in 80
days, unsalted butter,
"Winetka (Jersey), % months Is
days old, 20 lbs. in 7 days, unsalted
butter.
"Mamelle (Jersey), &c months old,
81 lbs. ST OF. in days, probably sailed
! OF. to pound.
"Basis Jersey, % months Is days
old, Is lbs. IL OF in days, probably
sailed | OF. to a pound.
Royal Daisy (Jersey), 27 months
old, 20 lbs. 9 OF. in days, probably
sailed l OF. to pound"
The Holstein cows milk does not
make so much butter to the gallon as
the Jerseys but she gives so much
more milk that her yield of butter over
laps the Jersey while the larger guam
tity of milk makes her the most profit
able COW for the family, or the dairyman
who sells milk. Those who are critics
in the matter of the best COW advise
crossing the pure bred Jersey cow with
pure bred Holstein bull, then rich
ness and quantity are combined in the
most desirable manner. We would like
to see some of our advanced dalrymen
or enterprising farmers invest in good
registered Holstein bull. Such cross
as above indicated, would, without
doubt, meet the wants and wishes of the
majority Of our farmers who keep COWS
for the three fold purpose of butter,
milk and larger growth of calves and
cattle than the full bred Jerseys pro
duce. 1t would not be desirable to breed
from the grade bull but always from a
full bred bull on either side. Breeding
from grade bulls soon runs down the
herd to scrubs.

THE Farm.
The Dat Crop.

Farmers are beginning to think about
their oats ground, knowing that week
or ten days in seeding makes great
difference 10 the number of bushels of
grain harvested. The sooner the crop
can be got in the ground the better the
yield, both in quantity and quality.
Oats ground should be plowed in the
fall after the corn crop has been re-.
moved from the field in order to facili
tate early sowing the following spring.
Then if the farmer has provided him
self with the best make Of harrows he
has only to 60 over the field with that
as soon as the frost is out and the
ground dry on top, to have it in the
best order for seeding, and by the time
he is ready, ordinarily, to commence
blowing he can have his oats in the
ground
Drilling oats is now practiced by
many farmers, with light dressing Of
fertilizer along with the seed This has
been found to largely increase the crop
Mr.. A. j. Kitchener experimental with
one bushel Of seed drilled in, to the acre,
last spring and his "turn out" of grain
was SO satisfactory that he proposes to
use that quantity in future. 1t is evi.
dent to every farmer that considerably
more than half the seed of all grain
crops-except CORRUPT in the ground
is lost. This loss is from several causes.
Some of the grain is imperfect and
never sprouts, or is so feeble in the germ
that the plant soon dies. Some of the
plants are too close and are killed by
aelf-weeding, but the greatest enemy to
the young plant is imperfect preparation
of the soil. The surface soil is very
rarely fined sufficiently for proper
seed bed for grain or seed smaller than
corn Ground plowed in the forenoon
and we'll narrowed in the afternoon of
the same day, if the best make of har.
row is used, will be put in the best pos
sible condition for the seed. The prop
er preparation OF the ground requires
more time, than the customary rough
mode in vogue but the increase of crop
and the destruction of weeds will inva-
riab y place the advantage gained large
ly on the side of thorough culture. Try
it on the oats crop and report Try the
improved method on part of the crop,
and the old slip shod system of getting
over ga heap" Of ground in the old way,
and in hurry and note which pays
best.

. Trimming Fruit Trees.
Communicated,

I am frequently asked by persons
whom l meet, "When is the best time
to trim fruit Trees It is timely
question just now, and though there
has been much written and said about
it, at the suggestion Of the Editor l
may venture to pen few ideas about
it, though [ may in the opinion of some,
be committing the mistake of showing
what [ do not hnow, while protesting to
give information, To those who are
disposed to be hypercritical and wish
more exact directions they had better
invest in good book ON the subject; or
perhaps they can CLEAN some useful
ideas by quizzing the next stranger,

These men and boys are generally
chuck full of knowledge and talk, that
they will spread gratuiously, if they
can in return bleed you freely and sell
some novelty, or old thing with new
price.
But laying all jokes aside there are a
few points worth knowing. Fruit trees,
and especially apple, rot rapidly where
large limbs are cut and exposed to the
weather unprotected. Where trees are
properly cared for there should be few
large limbs to GU, but these will heal
over sooner if it is done when the sap
is in the tree as we say and new wood
forming and bark growing to cover the
exposed surface. The very best time
then is just when it is most impossible
for the thrifty and busy farmer to do it,
about corn planting time perhaps, or
while blowing for oats or planting po-
tatoes. The neat best time then is to
do it mop or as soon as possible after
the severity of winter, any day when it
is warm enough to work up in 4 tree
without an ovcrcoat Then the brush
can be all gathered off while the ground
is frozen, if there is no sod under the
trees, and it will make excellent fire
wood when dry. 1t will pay to paint
over with rosin and tallow the stumps
of all large branches, where they are
cut close up to the main stem, to pre-.
vent the decay from beginning be.
fore the wound heals over.
To trim tree properly it is necessary
to cut to prevent limbs from interlock-
ing or resting on each other, and in all
cutting leave smooth surface, as close
up to the main branch as it is possible
to work and leave no stumps to die.
These stubs of old limbs cut six inches
to two feet long will invariably die (if
no leaves are allowed to remain to keep
up circulation Of sap and maintain
life) and become unsi Chilly objects and
carry disease to the remainder of the
tree.
Trees in natural condition trim
each other by the crowding process.
Those unable to keep up in the race
for light and air die of suffocation and
in tree left to itself the inside
branches die off from this cause and we
only anticipate the process when we cut
them out without waiting for this pro-
cess, and in so doing we direct the grow.
ing forces so as to secure shape that
may suit our ideas of beauty, conven-
fence and utility.
Trimming can also be resorted to, to
check exuberant growth and promote
fruitfulness and this is most effectual
when it is done after the leaves are
well started or when tree is in bloom.

Somehow or other, the TIMES
is always right when it expresses an
opinion. A few days ago, it intimated
that Senator Stanford's opposition to
the inter state commerce bill was
founded in that gentleman's sense of
justice, and that time would prove
him to be correct. Now comes the
news that the National Legislative
Committee of the Knights of Labor,
which represents "over 100000, or
nearly one tenth of the whole people
of the United States," has sent Presi
dent Cleveland an official letter, re-
questing him to veto the bill. There
must surely be something fundanen
tally wrong about the bill, or it would
not encounter such opposition. The
fact is that neither the people nor the
law makers know nearly as much
about this railway problem as they
think they do. Hence their frequen,
abortiye attempts to solve it.
